Abstract
A latch assembly may include a support, a handle for rotatably coupling to one of the support and the housing via a first axis and rotatable between unlatched and latched positions relative to the support, and a catch arm rotatably coupled to the handle via a second axis and arranged such that as the handle is rotated from the unlatched to an intermediate position between the unlatched and latched positions, the catch arm is translated in an arc from a first position in which it is disengaged from a post to a second position in which a retention feature of the catch arm positions itself under and proximate to a ledge of the post, and as the handle is rotated from the intermediate to the latched position, the catch arm and the retention feature move in a linear direction from the second to a third position.
